I’m always looking for interesting things to cook, especially during the Holidays. I like to make things that are different as you know….and even with food, i love something totally different! I found these cute Snowman Cupcakes, and I’m thinking of making them tommorrow. You can make them yourself, the recipe is from the Martha Stewart site below:

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
In the last few days….I’ve gotten questions like “how do you clean the tables?” Well, since the tables are all made with leather tops, its very similar to how you’d clean a leather jacket. I have quite a few tips and instructions on the ”Do’s and Don’ts” of cleaning the leather hides as well as the hair on the zebra prints. The only hides i would be extra careful with would be the pigskin/suede. But i don’t use much of those. On my website’s ‘FAQ’ section you will find the cleaning instructions, but this link will take you straight there : http://www.madebygirl.com/leathercare.html
The tables are designed to give your living room decor a stylish and sexy look, it may bring out the colors in your sofa, or even just as an ice-breaker during a party. I recommend purchasing tables like these if you are the type of person who is into maintaining your furniture pieces looking great! These beautiful and unique tables are different from anything you will find out there in coffee tables. I guarantee these tables will make a statement in your home or boutique! Plus, a percentage of each table sold will go to Breast Cancer Research or Lied Animal Shelter in NV. To purchase this style or for a custom piece, visit: www.MadeByGirl.com
*GOTTA LOVE IT, Happy Holidays!!!

Fancy, Fancy, Fancy!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS DOGGIES!!
One word came to mind when i saw these, nostalgia! I remember being a little girl growing up in Anchorage, Alaska…and seeing these frozen droplets of rain hanging from the leafless branches. They looked identical to these ornaments. What a unique idea! I love them!
You can purchase these at: www.SmithandHawken.com
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
“Charlotte’s Web” …….is such a classic story. I love this book…and now its a Hollywood film. The movie actually opens today in theatres. But, if you haven’t read the book yet, pls pick it up….it would definately make a great X’mas gift for kids!
Just added another Louie Style Table to my collection. My Boxer Darla, likes to place herslef in the shots. I usually tell her to move, but this time i left her in. This table is one of my favorites so far. Please visit my site and look at the rest of my work. www.MadeByGirl.com
*ALSO, more designs coming end of Jan…..HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
Let me introduce a new site i found- www.Vivre.com
I love this site! One of my favorite sections is the home decor. Especially because the pieces are so unique. This was one of my favorites: The Black ponyskin ottoman with brass nailhead….what a beauty! Thanks Eva for making us aware of all these beautiful things.
I’ve been selected as a ‘Featured Artist’ on the popular blog site “Ohmygooshness”. This Blog is all about prints, patterns and home furnishings! The blog is very well put together with many interesting products to check out. Thanks to Ana & her readers for the support! If you want to read the ‘interview’ they did on me visit the site at :
I love to read and wanted to let everyone know about this beautful book. “Shelter Dogs” - its a collection of photographs of dogs from various shelters. Each with a short description of their situation. The photographs in this book by Traer Scott are amazing! He captures the souls and personality of these dogs right through the pages. Unfortunately, some of the dogs had to be euthanized due to limited space in the shelter, their stories are heartbreaking. Once again, people that care and want to help. They are donating a percentage of proceeds from sales to shelters. Good for them!
Almost every time i visit the newstands- these few magazines always stand out. I love the look and the content…and they’ve been inspiration and motivation tools for me. Check them out , next time your in line at the grocery store.
I’ve been reading “For One More Day” by Mitch Albom , and i can’t even begin to tell you how touching this book is. His words are deep and heartfelt. Instead of me going on, pick up a copy for yourself….I actually bought mine at a local Starbucks here in Las Vegas. Its available at Starbucks nationwide, and the nice thing is they donate $1 from the sale of the book to Jumpstart’s literacy efforts.
About this book- http://www.albom.com/books_one_more_day.html
MADEBYGIRL.COM will donate 2% from the sale of each table to help support either Breast Cancer Research or Lied Animal Shelter in Las Vegas, NV. Its something that i’ve always wanted to do, and i hope that i’ll get to do it in abundance. Thank you to those who will help make this happen.
These are the current designs i have in my collection. I will be adding more Chippendale style tables and dressing them up with beautiful designs in late December & January. As of now, you can purchase any of these fine tables through my website. I can make custom tables, but with custom pieces it will take about 8-10 weeks to complete. Also with custom tables, the prices are usually higher and i require a deposit up front. If you are interested in a custom piece, please feel free to email me with specifications.
This is a brand new blog that I set up so I could tell you about my designs, my inspirations, and what I’d like to do with my life. I have a lot of interests but my new thing is creating these unique tables that you can see on my MadeByGirl web site. In any case, I will be pulling in some posts from various blogs so if you have articles that you’d like to contribute, please let me know!
